The next stallholder is no stranger to regular market-goers. The Peddlers Suitcase is a 'must-see' with their huge array of handmade upcycled bags, i pod and i phone cases, gift wrapping, vintage finds and lots more! Sometimes quirky - always delightful!

The Peddler's Suitcase can be found on facebook & at our February Handmade Craft Market. Feel free to email Christine if you would like something in a certain colour or style.

Ok, so some of the terms in this introduction may not make sense unless you're a collector. But if you happen to be one, this next stallholder will be sure to interest you!

Robyn has been enjoying making bears for approx 15 years & describes her designs as contemporary, colourful, with each having personality, attitude & individuality. Each bear is larger than life and definitely very cuddly! Not only is Robyn creating the bears herself, she also takes pleasure in teaching the craft at one day workshops to her students.

Not content with just bear-making, Robyn has recently explored PAVERPOL statues and Flower Buddies are other creative ventures. (there's some of those names I was referring too)

So what can you expect at the Gunnies Collectables stall?
1. Handmade one of a kind or Limited Edition Collectable Bears,Cats, Dogs and other animal companions.

With the flavours of Christmas treats but a distant memory now I thought it time appropriate to introduce you to Ready-Made Recipes!

Ready-Made Recipesmake perfect gifts for the less experienced chef, teens or even for the elderly who have trouble measuring. All of the dry ingredients are in the jar or packet. You just add very simple ingredients you should already have on-hand and cook it.

I LOVE this concept for so many reasons but to name just a few ...

Each gift keeps for up to a year and are great for any occasion. Rainy day activity? School holiday boredom buster?

You can give them away or keep them for yourself.

They are convenient to have in the cupboard for that last minute meal if your too busy to plan dinner, or if you are invited to a dinner party and you don't know what to bring. Especially if food is not your forte.

You can take them away with you on holidays so you don't have to get take-away every night.

They also have GLUTEN FREE recipes.

Ready-Made Recipes is not just food based. They also have gift tags, greeting cards bath salts, massage oil, and body wash scented with essential oils..

Ready-Made Recipes will be at our February 19th market at Bridgecoast Stadium but be sure to visit their website HERE or facebook HERE to see their new releases & special offers.

I'm lounging on our sun-scorched deck, watching the kids construct a cubbyhouse under the table, listening to the ocean & taking in the breeze of summer. Not a bad way to bring in 2012 on the Central Coast!

We trust everyone had a fulfilling Christmas surrounded by the ones you love (whether they were in the same room or via Skype or via great memories) & you're now looking forward to achieving great things in 2012.

Our next Handmade Craft Market will be held on February 19 in our new location at the Bridgecoast Stadium. This new location is very exciting for us as it offers so much more space meaning we can accept even more boutique stallholders offering the best of handmade, handcrafted or handgrown creations. We look forward to seeing you there!

On behalf of all the present & past (& even future!) Handmade Craft Market stallholders ... We wish you the happiest of New Years.
